    Look at everyone attacking me whilst I'm shitposting lololololol
    The posts here are quite different than in the shitposting thread.

    When people find things you believe disagreeable, the trick is to tell them things they either have a hard time disagreeing with or that they would have to spend brain time formulating an argument against, and then watch them not address the claims and instead address you with negativity.

    The posts I think are funny and the posts I agree with aren't the same.

    Also my original post wasn't taken seriously enough in terms of the regard you should take for your craft because what is happening to you isn't the same as a court jester.

    Also also see lots of points made in my post about how I disagree with the google chap.

    I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I wasn't referring to you. In my experience you have always been fair and logical.

    I've always said I'm a great guy and anyone who disagrees is a cunt.

    If you're trying to convince people or something, and I'm not saying you are, then maybe the least important thing should be them.

    Could you clarify your final point? Are you getting at the idea that disagreement with a person is one of the least effective ways to change that specific person's mind? If you are, I agree entirely. The phenomenon is pretty huge.

    Your point was "I make points, get attacked (personally), nothing happens*". If the people you're arguing against are juts spouting rhetoric at you then what are you doing to convince them otherwise? That is a genuine question. IF you're just saying a they're saying b how is that any different to the echo chambers you don't like?


    *The last one is false and maybe you imply it intentionally but it's also not outrageous to think you're also assuming this to be true as a fault.

    I feel like you edited something out of your post but tbf I'm drunk and maybe not. But ye I agree with your terminology was my point. Not that you were trying to be sneaky because what you said originally was just a better phrasing of what I said too.

    Mostly I'm probably experimenting.

    I'd say it is an echo chamber, like you say. We're all in echo chambers. I believe there is value in expanding consumption of various echo chambers that disagree with each other such that one's echo chamber becomes more representative of greater knowledge and critical thinking.
